It must be electronically posted on the State's or appropriate <br /> county's calendar and mailed or emailed to the board's mailing list of requesters at least six <br /> calendar days in advance of the meeting. While the electronic posting on the appropriate <br /> calendar is the official notice, a copy must also be posted as appropriate with the Lt. Governor <br /> or County Clerk. The notice should also be posted in the board's office and, if feasible, at the <br /> meeting site. <br /> The notice must contain the meeting date, time, and place, along with board contact <br /> information for submission of testimony and requests for reasonable accommodations for <br /> disabled persons. <br /> The notice must include an agenda of all items that the board intends to consider at the <br /> meeting,which should be described reasonably well enough so that the general public can <br /> decide whether they want to participate in the meeting. <br /> If an executive meeting is anticipated,then the agenda should include the purpose and <br /> statutory basis for the closed meeting. <br /> Finally, because boards must notify their mailing list when the board packet is available for <br /> public inspection in the board's office, boards could consider including this notification in their <br /> meeting notice. <br /> 23 <br />
